Here’s to a Ruby Who Most Folks Call Annie

Here’s to a Ruby Who Most Folks Call Annie

Here’s to the happiest birthday for Ruby
Cheers to the happiness she makes makes me feel
If you could find anyone else like her you’d be
Two times as lucky in a double down deal

Here’s to the friendship she offers so freely
Without asking questions she helps make my day
Where most others pull back their hands after handshakes
Her arms open wider without seeking pay

Here’s to a Ruby who most folks call Annie
A name more befitting a girl who’s a doll
As you get to know her you’ll find a fine lady
But unlike that Ann doll… not “raggedy”
At all!
